ing relic was on exhibition to-day at the

death. 1t is unique piece of work,
patched and repaired many times Il is

to the sides of both sets on the cheek side.
The teeth are now in the possession Of the
Baltimore Dental College.

TOau OF rance.
1t is within the recollection of young
men Of this day that the horse which
trotted mile in 2:40 was one of the
fast ones. and when talk of Il steam
locomotive making a mile in 4 minute
was received with expressions ofmcred-
ulity To-day the limit for locomo-
tive is little more than half that en-
pressed in the phrase, "a mile a
minute Engineer John Hogan, on
the Philadelphia Il Reading Railroad
engine No. l3i, has driven it at the as
tonishing speed of a mile in thirty
eight seconds. Other engineers. with
Reading engines Nos, 2O6, Ill, 96, 81,
gs and 30, have made miles in forty
three and forty-four seconds. Hogan ;
speed is at the rate of over nincty-foul
miles per hour; those of the others are
respectfully eighty-thrce and Il half and
almost eighty-two miles per hour
These high rates of speed were made
under circumstances all of which were
favorable to n successful test.
These are extreme limits Of high
speed for short distances, but locomo-
tive builders are cmulous to increase
the speed of their machines 50 that an
average speed of eighty miles per hour
shall replace the old time limit of sixty.
A novelty in the line of engine build
